Freda H. McCoy, 81, Bartlett Road, Norwich, was traveling south on Birdsall Street in the City of Norwich around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in her 1997 Mercury when she approached an intersection at Front Street but failed to stop at the stop light. Kelly A. Crandall, 31, Anchor Lane, South Plymouth, was traveling west in his 2000 Chevy along Clinton Street. At the Front Street intersection, Crandall struck McCoy’s car. McCoy’s car spun out of control and went up an embankment, across a sidewalk and into the front lawn of 43 Birdsall St.
